When users chooses to hide the network name from the router's setup page, it will only set the SSID in the beacon frame to null, but there are four other ways that the SSID is transmitted. In fact, hiding broadcast of the SSID on the router may cause the Network interface controller (NIC) to constantly disclose the SSID, even when out of range. [2]
In IEEE 802 networks such as Ethernet or IEEE 802.11, each frame includes a destination MAC address. In non-promiscuous mode, when a NIC receives a frame, it drops it unless the frame is addressed to that NIC's MAC address or is a broadcast or multicast addressed frame. In promiscuous mode, however, the NIC allows all frames through, thus ...
In Internet Protocol version 4 networks, broadcast addresses are special values in the host-identification part of an IP address. The all-ones value was established as the standard broadcast address for networks that support broadcast. [1] This method of using the all-ones address was first proposed by R. Gurwitz and R. Hinden in 1982. [2]
[13] [n 1] A null SSID (the SSID element's length field is set to zero [11]) is called a wildcard SSID in IEEE 802.11 standards documents, [14] and as a no broadcast SSID or hidden SSID in the context of beacon announcements, [13] [15] and can be used, for example, in enterprise and mesh networks to steer a client to a particular (e.g. less ...
MAC spoofing is a technique for changing a factory-assigned Media Access Control (MAC) address of a network interface on a networked device. The MAC address that is hard-coded on a network interface controller (NIC) cannot be changed. However, many drivers allow the MAC address to be changed. Additionally, there are tools which can make an ...

The Individual Address Block (IAB) is an inactive registry which has been replaced by the MA-S (MAC address block, small), previously named OUI-36, and has no overlaps in addresses with the IAB [6] registry product as of January 1, 2014. The IAB uses an OUI from the MA-L (MAC address block, large) registry, previously called the OUI registry.
Before sending the packet to B, A broadcasts an ARP request message – addressed with the broadcast MAC address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and requesting response from the node with IP address 192.168.0.55. All nodes of the network receive the message, but only B replies since it has the requested IP address.
